Ummmm.

The RS2 used a Porsche bolt pattern, thanks to Porsche suspension or
hub components.  It's not the same as most other Audis.  I think the
Porsche wheels have a larger bolt pattern than that of Audi.  Audi
is 112x5, I don't know what Porsche uses.

However, the earlier 15" Porsche wheels tended to be wide toward the
outside, I'd almost bet on a negative ET##.  However if I could figure
how to use them without really botching up some fender flares, I've got
pairs of 8" and 9" Fuchs 15" wheels.  And 5 or 6 6"x15" ones from the
1969 911S that I had for a long time.   :-)

The wheels shown on this Porsche are 7" front and 8" rear:

The extra inch on the 9" wheels is to the outside, so you can figure
what they look like.
